Summary
On paper, Omega Jimin’s life is the envy of everyone he knows. He has a devoted Alpha husband in Soobin, the blessing of his family, and a lifestyle that radiates stability and grace. To the world, their marriage is a fairy tale—a seamless union of two perfect souls.
Behind closed doors, however, the fairy tale dissolves into a transaction. Soobin is tender, attentive, and doting, yet he treats Jimin less like a partner and more like a utility. He accepts Jimin’s devotion and demands intimacy for his own pleasure, yet he remains completely indifferent to Jimin’s own needs and desires, leaving him physically and emotionally hollow.
Just as Jimin resigns himself to this quiet, one-sided existence, he crosses paths with Jungkook—an Alpha whose presence is as disruptive as it is magnetic. Unlike Soobin, Jungkook doesn't just want to "have" Jimin; he wants to see him. As the boundaries between his stifling safety and a dangerous, vibrant desire begin to blur, Jimin is forced to confront a terrifying question: Is a perfect life worth living if you have to lose yourself to keep it?
